The Internet’s Verdict: 70% Hyped, 30% Skeptical

Forum Voices

Users are excited about the new feature. One user said:

What a relief. My awful workaround was photos of all my membership barcodes labeled with a sharpie so that I can search ‘Gym’ or ‘Library’ or whatever to pull them up from OCR indexing.

Another user expressed frustration with automatic archiving:

Finally! An option to override automatic (un)archival of passes is also desperately needed. Some passes just don’t expire based on time, and too many pass creators are too incompetent to put the correct time in even if they do.

Technical Details

The new feature is iPhone-only, which means Google Wallet users will not have access to it.

One user wondered if the ‘Create a Pass’ feature will include notifications when the user is near the venue or event.
